Passed through raid card to Windows VM - Get dozens of emails about smart data not available from host?

I have a raid controller card that I've used hardware passthrough to a windows VM. My proxmox host continues to email me about each drive I have attached that it cannot retrieve the SMART info for the drives. How do I stop these emails, but not other warnings that I will actually want. I have a lot of other hard drives on the host and DO want them to continue smart monitoring - and I am already monitoring the raid controller on my windows host.

I've added the line
/dev/bus/0 -d ignore

in my /etc/smartd.conf file - but I still get the email alerts twice a day for each drive.

Email shows this:

Code:
This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

   host name:  <server>
   DNS domain: domain

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/bus/0 [megaraid_disk_70] [SAT], Read SMART Self-Test Log Failed

Device info:
WDC WD80EZZX-11CSGA0, S/N:ABCABCFF, WWN:digits, FW:83.H0A03, 8.00 TB

For details see host's SYSLOG.

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.

Any other ideas what I can do or try in order to stop these emails from sending, but still allow other smart info emails and normal system monitoring to continue?
